It means that there is a real need for us to strive to remain humble before our God, not allowing pride to gain the mastery over us. Always remember the inspired words: “God opposes the haughty ones, but he gives undeserved kindness to the humble ones.”—James 4:6. The Scriptures also counsel us: “If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he is deceiving his own mind.” (Galatians 6:3) Yes, pride is destructive and deceptive. We are wise to hate “self-exaltation and pride.”—Proverbs 8:13. Humility will draw us closer to God.

Pride is the idea that you are infallable. When you become too prideful your tendencies show it. Eventually you start to become... what's the word, sloppy (That's not my word of choice, but it'll have to do. Can't think of a better one atm) and eventually you make a mistake and you fall down and fail and your pride with it.
